The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $702,136 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to Caringworks, Inc., a minority-owned, Black American-owned nonprofit organization in Decatur, Georgia. The grant will fund Caringworks' delivery of a comprehensive suite of services, including transitional housing, mental health treatment, substance abuse recovery support, and other wraparound services, to rapidly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the greater Atlanta area while promoting long-term housing stability, employment readiness, and overall well-being. Caringworks also receives sub-awards from the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities to provide residential treatment services for individuals with substance use disorders and mental health issues. This federal grant award demonstrates Caringworks' alignment with HUD's Continuum of Care Program, which aims to address homelessness through community-based strategies that quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and optimizing access to mainstream resources.
